In fractious debate, GOP candidates find common ground on cause of inflation woes and need for school choice

It was a night in which even “the great communicator” himself may have struggled to be heard.

Key Points: 
  • It was a night in which even “the great communicator” himself may have struggled to be heard.
  • And yet, between the heated exchanges, important economic and business issues were discussed – from national debt and government shutdowns to labor disputes and even school choice.
  • Listening in for The Conversation were economists Ryan Herzog of Gonzaga University and University of Tennessee’s Celeste K. Carruthers.

Inflation talk assigns blame, falls flat on solutions

    • Not a single candidate mentioned rising housing costs, and few even acknowledged inflation.
    • Nikki Haley claimed that the average household is spending US$7,000 more per year on groceries and gas due to inflation.
    • Next, former Vice President Mike Pence said that recent wage gains have not kept up with inflation.
    • But while reducing energy costs would support lower inflation, there was zero discussion of how new technologies like artificial intelligence could be used to fight inflation – for example, by improving productivity.
    • In the end, most candidates resorted to old arguments and avoided debate on 21st-century solutions.

School choice is common refrain, but evidence on impact is mixed

    • One common theme across candidates was at least a brief mention of school choice.
    • School choice describes a variety of different policies that give the parents of pre-K-12 students more options for where they send their kids to school.
    • Haley voiced a commonly held view among school choice supporters that providing students with more schooling options improves education by encouraging competition.
    • Opponents of vouchers and school choice policies more generally argue that they put traditional public schools at a financial disadvantage.
    • In time, we can expect the evidence on school choice to grow substantially and perhaps occupy more attention in future debates.
